A hot standby replica keeps a list of Access Exclusive locks for a top level transaction. These locks are released when the top level transaction ends. Searching of this list is O(N^2), and each transaction had to pay the price of searching this list for locks, even if it didn't take any AE locks itself. This patch optimizes this case by having the master server track which transactions took AE locks, and passes that along to the standby server in the commit/abort record. This allows the standby to only try to release locks for transactions which actually took any, avoiding the majority of the performance issue. Refactor MyXactAccessedTempRel into MyXactFlags to allow minimal additional cruft with this. Analysis and initial patch by David Rowley Author: David Rowley and Simon Riggs
